I love almost all things seafood. I am a seafood junkie for sure. Seafood pasta salad is just one of my true love recipes. This dish is filled with imitation crabmeat, shrimp, celery, red onion, mayo, Old Bay, fresh dill, salt, pepper, and Farfalle pasta.
Summertime cook outs are always filled with different side dishes to go with the smoky food cooked on the grill. This seafood pasta salad is no exception to the rules. You don't have to wait until the grill is pulled out to make this delicious recipe. Seafood salad is great any day of the week.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I keep it fresh if the seafood salad is for an event?
I recommend to keep the salad on a bed of ice to keep it cool. Since it has mayonnaise you don't want the dish to spoil.
How long can I store seafood pasta salad in the fridge?
Using an airtight container, the seafood pasta salad can be stored up to 2 days. You would not freeze the salad due to the fact is has mayonnaise in it and when it thaws it may change the texture, and the crisp celery and the pasta may be mushy in texture as well.
